(b) The number of vehicles and factories in your surroundings increases.
(c) The total supply of potable water is finished.

Answer 1

a) Components of biosphere are Atmosphere, Hydrosphere and Lithosphere.

b) Biotic components of the soil includes all types of living organisms of the ecosystem i.e. Autotrophs, saprotrophs, heterotrophs etc.

e) Chloroflurocarbon and halogenated substances like Nitrous oxide causes harm to ozone layer

Answer 2

If microbes of the soil get destroyed then the soil will lost its fertility because microbes is the source of nutrients of the soil.

On the other hand of number of vehicles and factories in your surroundings increases then they can pollute the air and they can also pollute the soil in your nearby areas by destroying the microbes level.

To total supply of portable water can be finished due to soil pollution level.
